Noninvasive imaging techniques to map language areas using BOLD signal fluctuations in pediatric epilepsy: a review

Key Points

• Noninvasive imaging techniques effectively reveal brain language areas, improving diagnosis in pediatric epilepsy.
• Key evidence indicates that BOLD signal fluctuations can be used to map critical language regions, enhancing understanding.
• Review focuses on various modalities including fMRI, aimed at assessing language area localization based on bold signal variations.
• Advancements in imaging may lead to better treatment strategies and patient outcomes for those with pediatric epilepsy.
